| 31:1: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 31:2: "Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: |
| 31:3: and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, |
| 31:4: to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, |
| 31:5: and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship. |
| 31:6: I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you: |
| 31:7: the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent, |
| 31:8: the table and its vessels, the pure lampstand with all its vessels, the altar of incense, |
| 31:9: the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base, |
| 31:10: the finely worked garments--the holy garments for Aaron the priest--the garments of his sons to minister in the priest's office, |
| 31:11: the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do." |
| 31:12: Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 31:13: "Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, 'Most assuredly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you. |
| 31:14: You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. |
| 31:15: Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death. |
| 31:16: Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. |
| 31:17: It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.'" |
| 31:18: He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with God's finger. |
